- Time Mag last week had a piece on the new Calvinism. I read it on paper but you can read it online here. I get it. I was a new Calvinist in the 1980's and had more Banner of Truth books on my shelf than anyone I knew. I see the attraction but I also see the pitfalls of going back to the 17th Century to get reoriented in a postmodern world without going back to the early church in the New Testament.
- Clean up your blog with Christian Affiliate Marketers - who I met at BlogWorldExpo last year in Las Vegas. Dang - I need to clean up THIS blog!!
- The Brick Testament gets a mention in an article on Lego, which saw a 51% rise in profits last year despite the recession.
- Mark Berry, who I greatly admire, is podcasted on Something Beautiful
- ChurchCrunch comments on my cyberchurch symposium posts.
- Mark Sayers on the fragmentation of emerging church. Its a well thought out post. I relate well to the neo-missiologists in his line-up but most probably am more of a "blender", or a combination of MOST of his categories which probably isnt very helpful to his illustration. And I would add that book authors do not equal leaders in the emerging church. Where would, for example, Pete Grieg of 24/7 prayer fit? Judging EC by its books is like saying the leaders of the American church are Tim LaHaye and William Paul Young. Still, Mark has some unique insights here.
